file pc3

[Giamarix]

Hi, then I have a hp printer that to calibrate it I had to create the usual .pc3 file in autocad everything ok.
the problem arises when I use two other programs archline xp 2007 and revit as I can not import this blessed .pc3 file. on the printing box I have the hp printer but it is not the one calibrated to me needs the calibrated pc3 file.
you know how to solve, thank you for everything.

revit does not manage the pc3, but acts directly on the printer, with its "internal handler" (print/set)
In practice, the printer "makes available" to revit the paper size.

Sorry but I can't understand, he by default has the printer not calibrated and then when I go in print the project is not correct.
I'm used to autocad and so now I don't know what to do.

in revit architecture the prints are executed in the wysiwyg mode (what you see is what you get).

the press: format, scale, lines (thickness and colors) manage directly from the various menus of revit.

from the menu of the "printing settings" you select the printer (inserted in the "printing" folder of windows), the size of the "format" print, quality, orientation, etc...

the printer is inserted in windows printers but has .pc3 extension as calibrated and that printer inside the press menu you can not see, you only see the printer not calibrated and not having .pc3 extension.
Thank you.

jamarix, let's start over.
What do you have to do? ? ?
print a revit file directly on the hp printer?? ? ?
then forget the printer.pc3.
as gfrank wrote, the thickness of the lines used in revit you must manage them directly in the program and not as autocad from the printer.
If this is your problem, let me know.
Bye.

in fact it is correct: you have to use the one you see in the list (without pc3) extension
